All of the technicalities aside, it really pisses me off that some people use a situation like this to damage property and act like bunch of spoiled children. Once people demonstrate that type of behavior I lose all interest. I agree! This sort of behavior is unacceptable and shouldn't be tolerated. |

I guess it is all a matter of perspective, isn't it, Mink? And I gave you an explanation of it by examples. I too am a layman, and fully understood why a LEO on the spot may have thought that a Taser would be useful. It really isn't all that difficult if you pay attention to the world around you and don't automatically assume excessive force by LE. Your question, despite your disclaimer, was biased against cops. You're just finding an excuse to judge me subdjoe, plain & simple! Having read numerous articles, others had the same question I did regarding the taser. It's not a tool for daily use and because of that, people ask and shouldn't be misconstrued as biased- for shame!! |

It's not a tool for daily use Actually, it is indeed a tool for daily use when used within policy and with the due caution and circumspection that any use of force by a LEO commands of him or her. I wish I had one on my belt about 25 years ago as it would have saved more than a few people from having to get their asses kicked into handcuffs. |

I should have said, "It's not a tool for daily use for lay people", which is why I questioned. |

I should have said, "It's not a tool for daily use for lay people", which is why I questioned.Actually, with training, yes it is. Perfectly legal for a lay person to carry for personal defense... and since the CLEOs of our county don't see fit (generally) to grant concealed carry permits, it can be an effective option for someone who is interested in personal protection outside the home. |

Big Dog, what about inside the home, protection from within?
That is what one of these is for.....  Tasers use replaceable cartridges, they can be reloaded in a matter of a few seconds. That said, they suck at multiple attackers.... unless you can get them to all hold hands and the guys at the end each hold a wire. |

It would seem that Liberals who are so anti-gun should start buying those kid's marshmallow shooting guns. That should make everyone warm and fuzzy and ready to sit 'round the old campfire and sing Kumbaya while they roast their ammo.

Big Dog:
The reason I asked about inside the home protection was on behalf of JMO and her recently released son. I thought a taser would be a solution until the cops come around....
